Yes.
Your channel is unable to start, and so it is going into retrying mode. That is what is wrong.
Why is your channel unable to start? What errors are being thrown when you try and start it? Where have you looked?

Is the listener running? To start a channel you need to have a listener running. Then, start the RCVR channel and SDR channel respectively.
If you could answer Jefflowrey's questions, that will help us to put you on the right track. |

Well ill duoble check that the listener is up and running on the remote server...
the error i get in /var/mqm/qmgrs/MYQUEUEM!QM/errors is:
| Code: |
12/14/2004 05:03:12 PM
AMQ9999: Channel program ended abnormally.
EXPLANATION:
Channel program 'INTV1.MT.C' ended abnormally.
ACTION:
Look at previous error messages for channel program 'INTV1.MT.C' in the error
files to determine the cause of the failure.
|
..
the incomming channel and incomming queue is working, so i can receive messages, but dont send any, they just get "stuck" in the outgoing queue.
regards

Has this channel ever worked?
What was the 'previous error' in the log?
Have you tried resolving the channel at both ends?
Have you tried resetting both ends of the channel
Have you tried resetting the channel message sequence numbers at both ends of the channel? (Only if you are sure this is OK to do) |

Actually, you shouldn't need to start the RCVR channel if it is properly configured the RCVR should start when the SDR starts.

Or yeah, I guess you could do that. It couldn't hurt.

What kind of channel is it?
Are there any errors on the other end of the channel?
Can you ping the destination host?
Can other queue managers establish working connections with the destination queue manager?

In most cases true.
BUT
What if somebody issued an explicit STOP on the RCVR channel
You have to issue START again otherwise SDR will not be able to bring up the RCVR. |

| Assuming the channel has worked before and you can ping the rcvr, check your queues on the rcvr end and see if one is full. If that's not it, check your sequence numbers at both ends of the channel and also check for an indoubt state. To recap, check your queues, stop both ends of the channel, ping the channel, resolve the channel if in doubt, reset the sequence number if they are out of sequence, start the rcvr it should go inactive, then start the sdr. |

If there was a problem with the receiver channel on the remote queue manager, it would have nothing to do with the target queue(s). A "queue full" condition results in the arriving message being re-directed to the dead-letter queue of the remote queue manager, which implies the receiver channel was running. |
